SpaceX caps Starshield terminals in Ukraine at 161 km/h
Original: SpaceX maintains 161 km/h speed limit for Starshield terminals, Ukraine's defense ministry says
Ukraine's defense ministry says SpaceX maintains a 161 km/h speed limit for its Starshield satellite terminals used by Ukrainian forces. The cap reportedly prevents the terminals from operating on moving vehicles above that speed, a restriction that has drawn attention given the terminals' role in battlefield communications. The disclosure highlights the operational limits SpaceX places on its military-grade Starlink variant.
Why now: Ongoing concern over how SpaceX restrictions affect Ukraine's battlefield communications capabilities.
